Microsoft: Windows Phone outselling iPhones in 24 markets

Microsoft has told TechRadar that the company is witnessing some serious growth for its Windows Phone platform. Christoper*Flores, director of communications for Microsoft, told the publication that attacks on "both ends" of the smartphone market were well under way (high-end and budget mobile devices) and we can expect to see further aggressive marketing should the deal with Nokia go through.

Seems good news, but in some places the iPhone is just unbeatable like Japan. The market share for the iPhone in Japan is even higher than Android, and WP is literally non existent in that country which is quite important mobile market.

In the US, the numbers for WP is still low. So, while this is good news... there is still a lot work to do for MS in strong mobile markets like the US and Japan.
